A very typical runner’s training schedule includes a long run, a tempo workout, and an interval workout every week. Ideally the runner is also doing strength training. This schedule packs a lot of hard work in just 7 days!

How we run the workout affects whether or not we’re training the mind effectively.

Running Pace Variability refers to the extent that a runner’s pace can change. For example, a runner who jogs at 10:30/mile pace and sprints at 4:00/mile pace has a fairly large range in paces they can access: a high pace variability.

I want to be clear about something big: the treadmill requires less mental focus and engagement than running outside does.

I felt prompted to write this blog post after hearing from several sources that super shoes really only help fast runners, and that super shoes increase injury risk, bla bla bla.
